This year's event "Pajdaško sprehajanje", held as part of the 55th Days of Kajkavian Language in Zlatar, gathered a large number of participants and visitors. This traditional ethno-event, which has been held for many years, represents a key part of the cultural identity of Zagorje, aimed at preserving traditional customs and crafts. As part of the event, participants competed in showcasing old Zagorje customs, using traditional means such as decorated carts and horse-drawn carriages, all in strict adherence to ethnographic standards.


The President of the Republic of Croatia, Zoran Milanović, attended the event and expressed satisfaction upon seeing the efforts and enthusiasm of the local communities. The President emphasized the importance of such events for preserving cultural heritage and the tourist development of the entire region. Many other dignitaries also participated in the event, including the Mayor of Krapina-Zagorje County, Željko Kolar, and the Mayor of Zlatar, Jasenka Auguštan-Pentek, who also supported initiatives for strengthening cultural heritage.


The competition "Pajdaško sprehajanje" has a competitive character, and a professional jury evaluates performances based on originality and fidelity to the presented customs. The first prize, the Golden Lantern, this year went to the Society Naša Djeca (DND) from Zlatar for the presentation "Delidba", while the other two prizes were won by the teams KPD Zlatarjeve and PŠ Martinšćina, with the presentations "Kumice s placa" and "Zemi jabučicu i okrijepi dušicu":contentReference[oaicite:0]{index=0}:contentReference[oaicite:1]{index=1}.


In addition to the competitive part, the event also includes a rich accompanying program, which features a fair of Family Agricultural Enterprises (OPG) and a Festival of Children's Kajkavian Singing. These contents further contribute to the tourist attractiveness of Zlatar and its surroundings, with a special emphasis on involving children in preserving traditional values. This year, numerous children and youth from local kindergartens and schools participated, which was met with approval and praise from local officials. Mayor Kolar emphasized that this event guarantees the continuation of preserving the Kajkavian language and the cultural identity of the region:contentReference[oaicite:2]{index=2}:contentReference[oaicite:3]{index=3}.

Political desk

The political desk shapes its content with the belief that responsible writing and a solid understanding of social processes hold essential value in the public sphere. For years, we have been analyzing political events, monitoring changes that affect citizens, and reflecting on the relationships between institutions, individuals, and the international community. Our approach is based on experience gained through long-term work in journalism and direct observation of political scenes in different countries and systems.

In our editorial work, we emphasize context, because we know that politics is never just the news of the day. Behind every move, statement, or decision are circumstances that define its true significance, and our task is to bring readers closer to the background and intentions that are not visible at first glance. In our articles, we strive to build a vivid picture of society – its tensions, ambitions, problems, and those moments when opportunities for change arise.

Over the years, we have learned that political reporting is not reduced to retelling conferences and press releases. It requires patience, observation, and a willingness to compare various sources, assess credibility, recognize patterns of behavior, and find meaning in actions that sometimes seem contradictory. To achieve this, we rely on experience gained through long-term work with public institutions, civil society organizations, analysts, and individuals who shape political reality through their activities.

Our writing stems from personal fieldwork: from conventions, protests, parliamentary sessions, international forums, and conversations with people who experience politics from within. These encounters shape texts in which we strive to be clear, precise, and fair, without dramatizing and without deviating from facts. We want the reader to feel informed, not overwhelmed, and to receive a picture that enables them to independently assess what a given decision means for their everyday life.

The political desk believes in the importance of open and responsible journalism. In a world full of quick reactions and sensationalism, we choose diligent, long-term work on texts that offer a broader perspective. It is a slower path, but the only one that ensures content that is thorough, credible, and in the service of the reader. Our approach has grown from decades of experience and the conviction that an informed citizen is the strongest guardian of democratic processes.

That is why our publications do not merely follow the daily news cycle. They seek to understand what political events truly mean, where they lead, and how they fit into the broader picture of international relations. We write with respect for the reader and with the awareness that politics is not an isolated field, but a space where economy, culture, identity, security, and the individual life of each person intersect.
